I hope Days ratings is good. I think the show has improved a lot MarDar..

There's a part of me that wants OLTL to recover from its 300,000 viewer drop last week and another part of me that wants the show to go even lower for brining FF and Gigi/Stacy back front and center. I still think the show will go back up some. Either way, not expecting any soap to perform very well. The ratings are scary.

I don't know, the ratings seem more and more pointless to me. Before the cancellation announcements, it was kind of fun to watch AMC, Days, OLTL, and GH jockey for those bottom four spots and trying to determine what a ratings bump or decrease meant for their future. With AMC gone, OLTL about to go off, GH most likely gone in 2012 and Days in 2013, for me it's like, what's the point. What are they competing for at this point. I guess I do kind of savor the hilariously bitchy comments at Y&R (deservedly) reaching new lows week after week, but that's about it.

What's the point?

Well, two of those soaps have post-network futures now. Reportedly PP is still trying to score a cable deal. OLTL's demos crashing may adversely affect PP's efforts. AMC surging so high its last week may have helped sway PP's mind to invest more in that soap.

GH's crashing numbers could nix any interest PP has in pursuing licensing that mess.

These numbers still matter to some folks.

As much as I'd love to scapegoat Gigi/Stacy crap, OLTL been bleeding viewers for over a month.

Yeah but I can't say I would think PP would all of a sudden think AMC is so much more marketable because of a 1 week uptic for the well publicized ending of it on ABC but I could be wrong. OLTL and its crashing demos I guess well have to see if the numbers level off before declaring OLTL crashing. GH is another story but they likely have more opportunity for an uptic than the others due to their fanbase.

I HIGHLY doubt PP thinks AMC is more marketable after 1 week after months of awful ratings. How does that......nevermind.

IMO, OLTL is fine as far as PP is concerned. I don't think anyone has read or heard otherwise.

Also, the better the soaps' ratings are, the more we can all laugh when we compare their numbers to the numbers of their successor shows. I want OLTL to succeed just to see ABC weep when they compare The Revolution's numbers this time next year. If OLTL's number are down, it may seem like the cancellation was a good call.

I heard AMC's 1 week uptick proved there was a larger pool of possible AMC viewers than PP expected.

As for OLTL's crashing demos, in August it beat GH in 18-49 one week and scored #1 in the prized #18-34 demo. Over the last 5 weeks OLTL has dropped nearly 175,000 18-49 viewers from their August average. That is a downward trend not a one week hiccup.

We'll have to see if OLTL can bounce back in the demos over the next month and change its trend lines.

OLTL is leaving, and GH will be too. I want to see how low they will drop with the Chew as a lead in and soon the even lamer The Revolution as a lead in for GH.

DAYS is better than before, but still not all that. NBC will probably cancel it 2013.

Y&R... pfft who cares?

I have been watching B&B in and out for about a month, and enjoy it but I'm not really invested.

I don't think that one-week uptick for AMC means anything more than just some lapsed viewers tuning in for nostalgia's sake. Now if they can lure back some big guns like Larry Lau or Kim Delaney,which is unlikely, that may be a different story. Otherwise, I don't think the pool of viewers who'd purposely tune into AMC is that large. Same for OLTL for that matter.

Even though OLTL sucked this week, I do hope it rebounds a little. The Chew went up 80,000 viewers this week.

OLTL has gone up and down and up and down for some time now, a year or more. The longterm trend is down but I think that it still shows viewers will come back if they have a reason.

I knew OLTL would crash again. I am not particularly thrilled about Ron going to PP, I think the show could have done well with a new headwriter. The show can never simply sustain its excellence. Its either the best soap going or nearly unwatchable. Sometimes within a week! That being said I have not enjoyed OLTL as much as I did from June until September in years. (And heck, many of you hated it) The over the top madness just worked for me. Must see TV. The storylines right now have come to a crashing thud, but Andrea and John are so worth watching. For every bad actor there is an actor I love. And I really love Cutter and Audrey. I am still extremely excited about the future of OLTL and I get the strong impression that so much of what we are seeing now are hasty rewrites. From what I read, many of the right actors are LEAVING. See ya Kristen! See ya Eddie! See ya Fords! Based on the decent reviews, I have tried to get into Days and I just cannot. I can't stand the look of it and I have no sentimental attachment. I wanted to have some network soap left to watch! I figure Days will maintain its slight growth this week and OLTL MAY have small growth, I figure Days will beat it again.
